* Add unit tests for fused-novograd

* Fix: tensors should reside on the same device

* Fix: Cudastream should be called on the same device on which the tensors reside on. Found this during debugging fused novograd multi-device unit test

* fixed issues mentioned in the comments

- incorrect use of __shfl_down
- fix warp size assumptions
- update unit tests to exit on failure

use __launch_bounds__(1024) for multi_tensor_apply, re-enable skipped tests

Increase default ILP so that each thread handle 16 Bytes data in one step
Make thread load/store longest vector possible
Make unroll case handle adjacent data instead of strided...

The LARC optimizer wraps an underlying optimizer and then needs to be passed
to amp.initialize for mixed precision. There were 3 different crashes happening
in this situation, fix all of them and add a unit test.

I don't know if the 'LARC' in sys.modules check ever worked. In my setup, the
entry in sys.modules is 'apex.parallel.LARC'. Checking if the variable is
defined seems more reliable though.
